Arizona Tax Credit
TAX DOLLARS CAN CHANGE A STUDENT’S LIFE
New Way participates in the Arizona School Tuition Tax Credit through our School Tuition Organization, Financial Assistance for Independent Schools. FAIS was established specifically for New Way to provide tuition assistance for students in financial need. Because many individuals contribute to this fund, even a little gift makes a BIG difference.
For the 2022-2023 school year, over one-third of our student population applied for financial assistance through FAIS. The average gift awarded was just over $6,000 (approximately 25% of annual tuition). This year, FAIS was able to award nearly $500,000 in tuition assistance because of our generous corporate and individual tax credit donors.
Your contribution to FAIS as part of the Arizona Private School Tax Credit Program provides a dollar-for-dollar credit on your Arizona state income tax filing.
The deadline to contribute a tax credit donation for the 2023-2024 school year is Monday, April 15th, 2024.
